<p>This fall semester is the first time i met this teacher. i want to ask him for a letter of rec for my transfer app. Im currently a sophomore trying to transfer as a junior. The deadline for early action is Feb 1st, and im planing on sending everything in by Jan 20th. Should i ask him sometime during winter break? Or should I do it earlier like late november/early december?</p>
<p>You should ask sometime before Winter break. Make sure you establish a more personal relationship by going to office hours, participating in class etc. There is a lot of great transfer information and advice in the second and third topics (above here) on the Transfer page–read it thoroughly, and you’ll get a lot of sound advice. “Resources for Transfers” and “Transfer Admissions 101” ^^</p>
